The following is a factual statement about Iowa's current statistics for tonight's game and NOT an emotional statement:

Bennett Stirtz 0 points, 0-5 FG in 9 minutes. Alvaro Folgueiras 0 points in 9 minutes. Iowa scoring: Combs 9, Koch 7, Howard 6, Sage 2.

I think the issue is one of talent. BM can coach w/ anyone, and he will scheme and prepare his way to a lot of wins w/ this team. But if BS is stopped, this team will struggle to win. Especially on the road. Just not enough offensive firepower...yet.

Iowa had 4 fouls all half, and the first 2 were on its All-American PG, which saw him sit for a big portion of said half. (honestly, might have worked more in Iowa's favor that way)


Not saying B1G officiating sucks or conspiracies etc, but as a guy who averages 2-2.5 fouls per game so far ...... not saying its fishy, but it kinda smells like a wharf around here.

Just said on the halftime show that Iowa four TOP scorers combined for ZERO points in the first half.

They better wake up and show out in the 2nd half if they want to come away victorious from this one.

Yeah, I agree to certain extent the refs constantly go after certain players, Hmm wonder why?

I have no clue how Alvaro has absolutely zero post moves. He literally is just dribbling once without ever looking at the basket and just looking to pass.

Seeing a lot of emotional statements in this thread and the game has not yet concluded. Wil the three stooges from the last game thread teach them a lesson?

Against scrub cupcake teams he's got a slow bumbling turn he uses to look to score off that backdown dribble, but against real teams its very weak sauce.

Here's hoping there are a few more shot clock issues in the 2nd half, because according to Morris, that was the ONLY reason Iowa went on that run to get the lead back because of the faux timeout it allowed Iowa to turn the momentum around.

:rolleyes:

We don't focus on the post in this offense although I think we should at times

Medved is a quality BB coach. He and Mc are birds of a feather. Minnesota might have made the best off-season hire in the B10?

9-11 season if trends continue.

Win all home games but Michigan and lose all the roadies.
